MODEL MINORITIES: IRENE TU & ANDREW OROLFO

Comedian Irene Tu returns to Bindlestiff Studio, and she's bringing along fellow up-and-coming comic, Andrew Orolfo. With laid-back acerbic wit, they undercut myths of race, ethnicity, and gender and dissect the absurdities of life on their path to becoming freaking comedy legends!

In 2017, the San Francisco Chronicle singled Irene out as an artist on the brink of fame, on the heels of being named one of the Bay Areas 11 Best Stand Up Comedians (SFist) and one of 20 Women to Watch (KQED). She has performed at SF Sketchfest, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Riot LA and her comedy was featured on Seeso and Viceland. Irene has opened for comedians such as Anthony Jeselnik, W. Kamau Bell, Gary Gulman, Hari Kondabolu, and Aparna Nancherla.

After relentlessly hitting stages for the past few years, Andrew has become a staple in the San Francisco comedy scene, performing at the local shows and comedy clubs. He has been featured in the SF Sketchfest and the Bridgetown Comedy Festival. Currently, he produces one of the best monthly comedy showcases in the Bay Area. A free comedy showcase inside a fresh and swanky barber shop.
